Laser distance sensor drl-12, motion sensor, merbau-anthracite DRL-12-39

Smart lighting with DRL-12 sensor

DRL-12 is a laser distance sensor, ideal for automatic lighting control in corridors, staircases and other spaces where precise motion detection is important. Thanks to the advanced Time of Flight (ToF) technology, the sensor measures the distance to an obstacle, providing reliable operation and user comfort. DRL-12 is not only functionality, but also an aesthetic addition to interiors – available in many front color variants.

Precision and reliability of operation

The sensor uses a laser beam to measure distance, allowing for accurate determination of the presence of a person or object. After detecting movement within a specified range, it automatically turns on the light. Thanks to the adjustable detection range (0.1 – 2 m) and threshold brightness sensitivity (2 – 500 lx), the sensor's operation can be adapted to specific lighting conditions and user needs. This solution is ideal for open stairs, where it is important that the sensor reacts only to movement within the stairs, ignoring movement in other areas.

Functions and possibilities

• ToF technology: Provides precise distance measurement and reliable motion detection.
• Adjustable detection range: Allows you to adjust the sensor's sensitivity to specific needs (0.1 – 2 m).
• Brightness sensor: Prevents unnecessary turning on of the light during the day.
• Adjustable hold time: Allows you to set the light-on time after motion detection (0 – 10 minutes).
• Direct circuit control: Possibility of direct control of 12/24 V lighting circuits (up to 4 A). Possibility of increasing the load capacity by using LED-AMP amplifiers.
• Cooperation with AS-225: Compatible with AS-225 cascade controllers for advanced lighting systems.
• LED indication: Built-in LED indicates the sensor's operating status.
• Thermal protection: Protects against overheating of the device.
• Flush mounting: Small size allows for discreet mounting in a 35 mm diameter box.
